Plot:	Young director's assistant Kenjiro despises trivial films and wishes to make art films. But when he learns that light films have a genuine appeal to the masses, he determines to make one himself--if only his leading lady can hold out until the final take!
Overview:	In the early 1930s, when silent movies were being replaced by talkies, Ogura has become famous for making popular flickers and comedies. His young assistant, Kenjiro, despises his practice and wishes to make art films. Ogura finds a pretty candy seller, Koharu, and casts her as a bit player. But as she ruins take after take, she goes home and determines never to become an actress. Kenjiro is later falsely charged with being a communist. He learns in prison that flickers have a genuine appeal to the masses. After release, he returns to the studio and determines to make a flicker, entitled "Floating Weeds". At the same time, famous arthouse director Ogata has succeeded in making an actress out of Koharu. So Kenjiro chooses Koharu as the lead actress when the original female lead elopes with her lover. Production goes smoothly, until the final take...
